The writer M. L. Davis has made a perfect point, why most writers do not want to use gen AI to write their books:
""You wouldn't ask AI to watch your comfort series for you, attend a concert, go on holiday, spend time with friends"
And she goes on to explain that writers simply love writing, so why would they outsource it?

Update on Bing use-case: quickly view a Gregorian calendar month display with new features and without Copilot noise.
In 2024, I wrote about a use-case for Bing where it vastly outshines all other search engines. https://tantek.com/2024/287/t3/bing-use-case-calendar-month
Since then, Bing has added “Copilot” LLM generated results to the top of search results by default, and unfortunately they add zero value to calendar month searches and displays. Worse, Copilot’s “summary” can often be long enough to push the actual calendar month display “below the fold” as it were.
Solution: add " -ai" to your query.
E.g. assuming you’ve setup Firefox search shortcuts as I recommended (https://tantek.com/2024/287/t2/setup-search-shortcuts-firefox)
Type this into your Firefox address bar:
b 2026 sep -ai
or directly go to https://bing.com/ and enter: 2026 sep -ai
and press return. You should see a days and weeks grid display for September 2026, with the current day of the month (the 9th as I’m writing this) selected in the displayed month.
Note the new calendar month display features since I last blogged this in 2024:
* Day 252 — day of the year! September 9th of 2026 is the 252nd day of 2026.
* Week 37 — Sept 9th is also on the 37th week of 2026
* 31 days later — Sept 9th is 31 days from today (August 9th).
* < [ Sep v ] > – little anglebracket arrows on either side of the month button/dropdown to one-click nav to the prev/next month
* [ Start Day v ] — a new “Start Day” drop down button to change which day of the week to display as the start of the week
Amazing that despite already being far better than any other search engine for year month queries, Bing has *improved* its calendar month display search results, while Duckduckgo, Google, Yahoo are just as useless (yes I checked) as they were two years ago (I also tried Ecosia and it was no better). I am hashtagging them all to see if anyone at those other search engines notices and gets around to implementing a similar calendar month display.

Nachwuchs-Autor*in berichtet in einem buchigen Subreddit, dass sie*er ein Buch mit gen KI schreiben möchte.
Dazu habe ich kommentiert: "Du kannst natürlich machen, was du möchtest. Aber vielleicht bietet dir meine Antwort einiges Infos, die du noch nicht kennst, oder einige Gedankenanstöße."
Dazu habe ich diesen Blogbeitrag von mir verlinkt:

Are there any licenses that prevent use by genAI companies ? Or generally for-profit companies? 🙏
Edit: maybe this? https://github.com/non-ai-licenses/non-ai-licenses
(I know nothing about licenses, could someone confirm that any of these would work?)

CW: Re: "HuggingFace" genAI scraping of public (?) github repos
If you have a github repo (of ANY kind and content, but public, I think), you might want to check if it's been hoovered by 'HuggingFace' and remove it at this link: https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceCode/in-the-stack
If it annoys you deeply that people might just scrape your stuff and make it 'opt-out' to opt-out, instead of asking permission first, you can complain on their repo and even block and / or report the authors (bottom-right of the main repo page) - that made me feel a little bit better.

@thomasfuchs @_the_cloud @a2_4am this is why AI slop in even the hobbyist realm is poisoning the well.
You don’t know what license it holds, whose underlying work has been stolen, and it diminishes the overall level of true joy of discovery in the community.
And then there’s the training ethics and environmental cost.
It’s a “Look at the shiny thing *I* made without really trying!” situation rather than “Look at this amazing thing I discovered! And now I can create this other thing with that knowledge.”
Something worth doing *is worth doing*.
Pull a handle on a slop…I mean slot…no actually, I mean slop machine to get an answer-shaped dingus is as bad as using AIs for “creative” uses like, oh, I don’t know, blog post header images. Even in the hobby space.
So, using it for creative uses like, oh, I *do* know, programming, is as bad as using it in any creative endeavour.
We’ll end up in a melange of slop in all fields if we don’t resist in all fields because everyone seems to have a “Oh, it’s ok for *that* ‘low value’ endeavour, just not for the one/s *I* care about it being used in.”

CW: anti-genAI cover art; alien blood (YouTube chiptune music upload announcement)
And finally, my third #chiptune, "Tin Man", is up on my YouTube channel, this time with a #Furnace capture!
This is the last song uploaded to that channel that I previously released; the next one I publish there and post about will be my newest chiptune! Stay tuned and see you in a new thread!

Hey all what's the best #PythonIDE for running #JupyterNotebooks without genAI?
Edit: never mind, for now I'm just using Jupyter Notebook, I just don't really understand why you'd want to code in a browser, or why you'd want all your functions and code and everything to be in the same file.. just give me basic scripts and functions and I can roll with that! #OldSchool

Wenn euch schon das Urheberrecht egal ist, so denkt doch wenigstens an die Ressourcen und verzichtet deshalb auf GenKI.

Just saw that #genAI models now have a "how to protect the environment" suggestion... which suggests to use different genAI models 😇🤣🤦
You want to know the best way to save energy and protect the environment?
- do not use genAI (use your own brain, or your friends')
- while you're at it, protest all the data centers that are getting built to support all that "energy-saving" genAI! here is a set of petitions (UK-oriented) and here's another one I just saw (US-oriented, check individual petitions though)
actually had to update a meme for this 😅
